Amy Guesner, the assistant vice president for corporate sales at MediaTek, recently shared an exciting update during an analyst event. She announced that a premium segment phone powered by a MediaTek flagship application processor (AP) is set to launch in the U.S. later this year.

Here are some key points to note about this upcoming device:
– The phone is expected to target the premium price segment in the U.S.
– Speculations suggest that Motorola may be behind this mystery handset, as they have previously used MediaTek chipsets in their devices.
– The flagship MediaTek chip likely to power this phone could be either the Dimensity 9300+ or the upcoming Dimensity 9400 SoC.

Let’s take a closer look at these MediaTek flagship chips:
– The Dimensity 9300 AP features a unique configuration with four high-performance Cortex-X4 CPU cores and four performance Cortex-A720 CPU cores, without low-powered high-efficiency cores.
– On May 7th, MediaTek is anticipated to unveil the Dimensity 9300+ with enhancements like a faster Cortex-X4 core and an improved AI Processing Unit (APU).
– Alternatively, if the device launches closer to the fourth quarter of this year, it may come equipped with the Dimensity 9400 SoC. This chip is rumored to include one Cortex-X5 high-performance CPU core, three Cortex-X4 high-performance CPU cores, and four Cortex-A720 performance CPU cores.

In conclusion, the choice between these MediaTek chips for the premium U.S. phone will likely depend on its release date. Stay tuned for more updates as we await further details on this exciting collaboration between MediaTek and an undisclosed manufacturer.
